Hello – thanks for the answer. I did look at the link you said but it would take too much time to deal with. The other thing that I discovered is that, under the present system, when one ccap expires it takes down the whole level even if the other ccaps were meant to last longer.

Hope that helps a bit.

PS. I think I did ask another question that you can help with ;-)

I think (blush…) that I had not specified a Login Welcome Page…

Hello Eduan (and other forum members),

My impression is that the free version of S2member I am running actually does allow an upgrade through the addition of a custom capability not through a level increase (although I have not had much experience with the plugin – my memory of this is that you get a message congratulating you on the upgrade – I have been doing something else recently).

Having said that… and assuming that the upgrade through additional capabilities does in fact work as I said (even if only in the paying version) I still wonder what happens if a membership designed to last for 21 days is purchased first. Soon after, it has a capability added which is only meant to last for 14 days. My hope is that the 14-day capability is removed at the expiry of the 14 days and that the balance of the 21-day membership remains intact until the 21 days for the first membership have elapsed.

I really would appreciate it if someone could tell me the answer.

Cheers
Andrew

Well … you may be disappointed with the result (I was). In fact, I did not solve my problem. I did come up with an acceptable workaround though (a solution of sorts I guess).

My initial problem was to have Login, Logout and Registration tabs appear and disappear in the menu according to the login status of the user. I could have done this with a menu visibility plugin but those I could find conflicted with the theme I was using (Suffusion). I found I could control the tabs with S2Member for pages that s2Member could control using “Alternative View Protection”. However, I could not control the tabs which accessed wp-login.php or other non-pages.

I therefore found a login/logout plugin which came with shortcodes, put the shortcodes in a page, surrounded each shortcode with s2If statements. The result is that now I only have 1 tab called something like “Login/Logout/Register” which is always visible but whose content varies according to the status of the user. It is not what I wanted but it does the job (a good start), it is relatively clear and elegant and easily changeable if necessary and not too space-consuming.

Cheers and many thanks for your great help Eduan.

Thank you Eduan

I will try that. I guess I cannot control wp-login.php this way, but I should be able to create a page with shortcodes using a shortcodes plugin and control that page.

Let’s find out… I will report…

Just to clarify…

I have a menu item called “LOGIN”. It is visible when no one is logged in.

Someone logs in then:

(a) LOGIN disappears
(b) LOGOUT appears

When the user logs out LOGOUT disappears and LOGIN appears.

I know that there are plugins which allow for visibility of menu items but they are in conflict with my preferred theme (Suffusion). Hence my question.

Thanks
Andrew

Hi Eduan

I think I have worked out how this works BUT… how do I do this for Login and Logout… Hmmm … I guess I could do it if there is a shortcode for login and logout… Actually I think I can hide an protected page (Logout – which can appear once someone is logged in) BUT how do I protect an unprotected page/menu item (Login – which MUST appear when no one is logged in and disappear after someone has logged in)?

I will keep looking but would appreciate your opinion on this conundrum.

Thanks very much
andrew

Hi Eduan

thank you – I have had a look and checked the Nav Menus box but, apart from that I have found no way to activate the menu protection: nothing appears in Appearance >> Menus or anywhere else I could identify. I looked in the help but could not find anything either. Can you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot
Andrew

Actually, I think it is the profile part of the dashboard… *their* profile – which I want to hide. They are denied access to admin functions.

My point is that they get to see something that I don’ t want them to see (and no one else sees). I would prefer it if they simply saw the homepage or whatever. I have tried various redirection plugins, but to no avail. I may try a “user front end” plugin.

Thanks for any further help.

Hello I am looking for a TOS plugin too but cannot seem to find the one you are referring to John, at least not in the standard WordPress repository. Any help would be appreciated.
